      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    Like my other SV soaps, I don’t use Morado enough. The scent works in late spring and summer, but I think it matches perfectly to the cooler part of the year. Wonderful stuff.

    Today was my first trial of a razor for AA. The Facharbeit is a stainless steel razor and, therefore, not even worth purchasing, let alone using for a face shave. I should probably use it to open boxes or letters. Yet, I got an excellent shave from this razor. Probably a fluke since, again, it is stainless steel, and we all know that stainless steel razors suck. If I check back in my records I see that I have four stainless steel razors. I probably purchased them based on bling and didn’t notice the type of steel. Yet, my previous shaves with these razors were also excellent. I wonder if technique matters, or bias comes into play?
